Travis Kelce Opens Up About His Love Story With Taylor Swift: 'It Was So Organic'
Travis Kelce is opening up about his whirlwind romance with Taylor Swift and insists that despite the headlines, their relationship grew naturally. In his GQ September 2025 cover story, the Kansas City Chiefs star reflected on their journey since they first connected in 2023.
'Whenever I'm with her, it feels like we're just regular people," Kelce shared. 'When there is not a camera on us, we're just two people that are in love. It can be perceived as something else because of how much it is talked about and how much we are tracked whenever we do go out, but… it still happened very organically."
From Friendship Bracelet to Full-Blown Romance
Kelce, 35, first expressed interest in meeting Swift during her Eras Tour stop in Kansas City in summer 2023. His playful plan involved gifting her a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it.
That September, Swift made her debut at a Chiefs game, sparking a cultural frenzy that saw 'the dads, Brads and Chads" suddenly paying attention to the NFL star's love life.
The couple's bond only grew stronger. Kelce joined Swift on her Eras Tour during the 2024 offseason, even stepping on stage in Europe, while Swift reciprocated by attending Chiefs games — including their Super Bowl 2025 appearance against the Eagles.
Why Kelce Calls It 'So Organic'
Despite the public fascination, Kelce maintains that their romance unfolded naturally. 'Nothing I've ever done has been a controlled, organised process," he said. 'When I say it was so organic, we fell in love just based off the people we were sitting in a room together with. We are two fun-loving people who have the morals to appreciate everyone for who they are. We share all those values. It just kind of took the f–k off."
Swift, also 35, spent much of the NFL offseason with Kelce before gearing up for her next album, The Life of a Showgirl. She even appeared on Kelce's New Heights podcast to tease the project, bringing her trademark charm to their playful banter.
As Kelce prepares for his 13th NFL season, the couple continues to navigate fame with ease — blending touchdown celebrations with chart-topping success, proving that even the most high-profile love stories can have humble beginnings.

Kirron Kher says Anupam Kher feels bad when she doesn't appreciate his work, advises son Sikandar Kher to 'be more like Anupam': 'Sikandar is a laat saheb...'
Veteran actor Kirron Kher is known for her open and honest personality, both on and off screen. In a recent interview, she revealed that she never praises her family's work unless it truly impresses her, even if that means hurting feelings at home. 'I am not one of those people who appreciates family members just like that. My husband feels bad about it,' she told News18, admitting she can't pretend to like every film Anupam Kher has done. 'It shows on my face,' she laughed, recalling how she didn't enjoy Sikandar's performance in Tigmanshu Dhulia's Milan Talkies. Advice to Sikandar: 'Be more like Anupam' Kirron shared that she often urges her son to be less selective with projects. While Sikandar is 'very particular' about his work, she feels he needs to take on more roles, just as Anupam did during his career's peak. 'Anupam has done all the films because he had to earn money and take care of the house and the family. Sikandar is a laat saheb... but things don't work that way,' she pointed out. Kirron acknowledged she had the 'luxury of choice' because Anupam bore the financial responsibility, a privilege she believes Sikandar cannot afford if he wants to keep working consistently. Kirron Kher drops a picture from a lunch date with her husband Anupam Kher; fans say 'You both are looking cute' Anupam Kher on the 'void' of not having children Married since 1985, Kirron and Anupam Kher do not have children together. Sikandar is Kirron's son from her first marriage to Gautam Berry, and was four years old when Anupam entered his life. Speaking on Raj Shamani's podcast, Anupam admitted feeling a 'void' over not having biological children, revealing that Kirron 'could not conceive' and later faced complications when she did. 'I was too busy making it big,' he said, but added that Sikandar 'is still fine for me,' emphasising their strong bond despite the circumstances.
